Comment on The Freddy Galvis deal is sad, and you should feel sad too. by Michael Arndt https://gwynntelligence.com/2017/12/15/the-freddy-galvis-deal-is-sad-and-you-should-feel-sad-too/comment-page-1/#comment-2423
Fri, 15 Dec 2017 23:54:38 +0000http://gwynntelligence.com/?p=6677#comment-2423Cant really agree with any element of this. A 3 year deal with Cozart at $13/m per year means we have Tatis where exactly in 2019? As for Perdomo and Richard, you may not have those two as your # 4 & # 5 starters in 2021, but you are gonna have # 4 & # 5 starters, as well as relievers and having a great SS who can pick it means you can take ground ball pitchers from poorer fielding teams that are undervalued and utilize them. Great defense is always a plus.
Finally, I guarantee Freddy G gets a bunch mire hits than the previous SS by committee we have had.

Thu, 30 Mar 2017 15:01:14 +0000http://gwynntelligence.com/?p=3311#comment-1698[…] You can trade tickets within a tier. So you can trade single for single, or triple for triple. I asked the ticket rep if you could trade from a higher tier down to a lower tier game and was told “You do have to stay within the same tier when switching games”. This doesn’t make sense to me as you’d be exchanging a ticket with presumably higher value for a ticket with a lower value. The ticket exchange policy is posted online, and leaves open the possibility that MAYBE you can trade between tiers. Gold and Platinum members are allowed to make more exotic trades. For instance, they can trade a home run tier $100 ticket for four $25 single tier tickets. They can trade a $25 single tier ticket towards the purchase of a $100 home run tier ticket, and have the value applied to the purchase. The policy is poorly written, and looks like it was modified after the fact to reflect the Decemberish decision to open trading to blue members, so there are some questions. The ticket rep, however, was very unambiguous that blue members COULD NOT trade outside of a tier, no matter what. The policy also states that you cannot trade tickets within a tier for seats that are outside the areas you can buy a blue membership in, so you can’t upgrade into field level or Toyota Terrace, even if you are paying the difference. This limitation on flexibility seems like it was design purely as a marketing strategy to upsell you to the gold plan, smelling of last year’s failed strategy to use access to All Star Game tickets to force the upsell to gold plans. One thing to remember is that all of these policies are all utilizing and based around the Padres implementation of dynamic pricing, which tends to screw the customer (thanks Ryan Gustafson!). […]

Comment on Cutting the Cord As A Padres Fan by kevintheomanharris https://gwynntelligence.com/2017/02/13/cutting-the-cord-as-a-padres-fan/comment-page-1/#comment-1577
Tue, 14 Feb 2017 05:02:16 +0000http://gwynntelligence.com/?p=3740#comment-1577I like the Roku interface. I have had various roku units for years now, so maybe I’m just clinging onto what I know.

I cut the cord before last year’s baseball season and was generally fine with it. I never really watched many games anyways. I was more likely to listen to a game on the radio at work than I was to come home after work and plop on the couch to watch a game on tv. The stuff I immediately missed was my DVR’d recordings of Social Hour, Padres POV, Padres Weekly, SD Live. Social Hour I was able to watch from the Padres website at least.

I did have a couple month stint with Sling TV. The interface was abhorrent, but the price was reasonable. The reason I gave up on it was that they would blackout me when I lived in an in-market area (Vegas). Sometimes it wouldn’t black me out, but that was only like 20% of the time. Even after escalated customer service complaints and communicating with the FCC, it never really got resolved.

There isn’t anything I miss from DirecTV. My big regret was not doing it sooner. Padres games were the only thing I would ever watch live. Hulu has everything ready for me the following day.

Hot Tip if you ever decide to drop Vue: CBSN is great for national news and newsON is decent for local news depending on if your market is covered. One of my worries when cutting the cord was losing news coverage of the presidential primaries and debates….I did fine.

For a time, I was living downtown and worked a solution to jailbreak an iPad to get by MLB blackouts on MLB.TV, and it worked fine, but it was a pain. Every year when I’d make that call to the cable […]

I asked them to review your data and I did state my preference for a unique Padres identity that, I believe, must include brown. To their credit, I have already received emails back from Ron Fowler and Peter Seidler. Ron’s email was very personable and he confirmed that the next two years is a period where they are planning a deep dive on Padres branding including uniforms. I am encouraged that the leadership is committed to the Padres long term, on field success. I recommend that you continue your press. It sounds like there may still be time to influence the uniform decision.

I gave up my season tickets this year because there is just no splash. We can’t do anything different so until we change and fans are heard, I’m rocking my browns at home and around town.

Wed, 08 Feb 2017 19:43:49 +0000http://gwynntelligence.wordpress.com/?p=3431#comment-1560Sorry, but I just can’t see anything “Updated” or “Refreshing” about these new uniforms? To me, they seem like a bland amalgamation of the Rays and Mariners uniforms, which are two of the least memorable in the MLB. Anyway, the brown isn’t necessarily about Nostalgia for an era of Padres baseball, as they were often terrible when they wore those uniforms. It’s about a sense of identity.

The BROWN represents padres who wore the brown, like it or not, BROWN IS THE PADRES…..you can go Brown and White, Brown and Gold, Brown and Orange, but BROWN IS INTEGRAL, otherwise, change the name of the team.

The blues are updated and refreshing. It is hard to be nostalgic with a totally different team than the one that wore brown. Just my 2 cents

I one hundred percent believe our current uniforms are awful and brown is the way to go. I also one hundred percent believe you talking about Fowler’s wife threatens the integrity of everything you’ve set out to do here.

Comment on Padres Have A Golden Opportunity To Seize by Botching Promotions: A Padres Tradition | Gwynntelligence https://gwynntelligence.com/2017/01/17/padres-have-a-golden-opportunity-to-seize/comment-page-1/#comment-1534
Wed, 25 Jan 2017 06:09:39 +0000http://gwynntelligence.com/?p=3508#comment-1534[…] It seems like we’ve been talking forever about how terrible the Padres’ promotions and marketing are. There are the obvious problems with the branding related to 90 different uniforms, the very real possibility of wearing six different uniforms in six games, and a color scheme that rivals Unisom at sleep inducing effectiveness. But it was supposed to be a new era, right? Mike Dee is free to go captain the Love Boat and swing sick deals for himself (ALLEGEDLY!) and Chief Marketing Officer Wayne Partello was now able to craft a new, innovative promotional schedule to bring in the fans without noted blunderer Dee mucking things up. And don’t doubt for a minute that oh buddy do they need help in 2017 to bring the fans out. The team will be battling for 100 losses and Mike Dee and his right hand man Ryan Gustafson made sure to keep the prices for tickets at the All Star Game hosting year levels while retaining the same crappy season ticket benefits that they slashed last year. This was the year that marketing could help see the team through a rough year. Throw the fact that the Padres are now the only big league team in town after the notorious dickhead Spanos family skulked out of town, and the Padres were handed a golden opportunity to seize the San Diego fanbase. […]

I think the thing you really hit on here is how ridiculous, as a whole, the voter group is. People who haven’t covered baseball in years or *barely* cover baseball somehow get a HoF ballot. I know they’ve taken some steps to clean this up of late, but it’s not good enough. The voter group should really be trimmed further, and more online people should get a vote right away, without having to wait 10 years (not that that would necessarily help Hoffman’s cause). I’d be interested to see the geographical breakdown of the entire voter group.

Also, since I’m here, I disagree about Ortiz, but whatever. He’s a borderline candidate by regular/WAR numbers, but he gets a major boost for postseason performance and the whole “fame” thing.

Wed, 18 Jan 2017 22:29:10 +0000http://gwynntelligence.com/?p=3508#comment-1524In years past they did the Fan/Friarfest in April because of the offseason events at Petco. I haven’t paid close enough attention to that schedule to know if that’s still the case this year.
